Joan Miro artworks and editions

Joan Miro was a Spanish artist who is known as a pioneer of surrealism, even though he has never been an official part of the group. Joan Miro’s artworks and editions are approaches to functional mechanisms of the human mind. His unique style is characterised by the symbolic use of colour and dissolution of familiar forms.

Abstraction is an essential part of his work that he combines with the repeated use of symbolically shaped forms. The symbols that he uses mostly are eyes, birds, and moons, which are embedded in other surrealistic artists’ artworks as well as the Spanish folk art.
The fusion of different stylistic elements is a typical feature for Joan Miro’s artworks and editions that establish a distinctive style.
